As we're on the topic, I'm trying to think which one is better, good acting and lacking story or bad acting and good story. But really, both are pretty much disasters. I've seen some dramas with interesting plots but then the actors can't act and it just ruins everything. Or the actors can be good but the plot is so horrible that it's such a waste of good actors. I feel sorry for them.
Though really, coming up with a good plot for a drama is probably very hard. There are probably lots of things to take into account. Oh, but there are times when I think that I could be a succesful script writer (or whatever you call it). That's when I wake up in the morning and remember my dreams. Sometimes I see such amazing moments or happening in my dreams that I can't help thinking that using them in a drama would be perfect in many ways. Too bad I won't be a script writer. My dreams go to waste. xD

Haha, I see. I thought you drew it on computer or something. xD Ok, I don't know but I just kind of wanted to ask. I don't make any sense but whatever, forget it. xD

Oh, I know. It's most annoying when the comments are biased, because what I'm trying to find is a proper comment that would let me know what the drama REALLY is like and not like seen through pink glasses.It would be especially great if people wrote the bad and good things about the drama, so I can decide for myself if the bad thing is a big problem for me. Like "The story is new and interesting but the acting is a bit lacking". The rest is up to me.
Hmm, I see. I don't really talk much with people, I just read comments but that sure sounds unpleasant! And I really don't like when people answer with about three words, when I had written a whole essay. >_> That's why I like talking to you~^^
Btw, I read the comments on Minhos drama and I was about to actually go watch it after the first few comments, but then I read more and... FINITO! THE END! BYE! I hope Minho will forgive me. m(_ _)m

Well, I wish for you to safely finish the drama without leaving it on hold for a while! :D Do your best! x)
It's not that it's not good, I don't know... There's nothing that makes me want to watch it, only Minho. So I probably should watch it anyway, otherwise I'll be a horrible person. And therefor I shall go and desperately read other people's good comments about the drama, that might make me want to watch it. (that's what I do sometimes lol) I hope there are no bad comments. *prays* And the drama might just turn out to be very interesting.. Ok, now I'll stop my rambling because you probably don't want to hear anymore. xD
By the way, tell me about your avatar. xD

Yeah, I wonder what he would have dressed up as! Onew looked very scary. xD I didn't even recognize him and Key at first. lol
I see, as I'm very picky when it comes to Korean dramas, I think I'm not going to watch it. Hearing about the crying and mood changes and cliches doesn't make me want to watch it. And if the people who actually love Kdramas say negative things about the drama, it pretty much means that I shouldn't even poke my nose in it. xD Whew, now I feel relieved that I'm not missing out too much and don't have to add another drama to my currently watching list. x)
I have another concern, though. I'm thinking if I shoud just stop watching Minhos drama while I still watched only 2 eps. It's not entertaining me. But how can I NOT watch it for Minho??!! T_T And it's freaking 20 eps! Why oh why...

I definitely agree that it's a good chance for him to learn about acting and yes, he seems to like it a lot. Though it's probably hard to keep up with the promotions and all but he's working hard and never forgets to give a smile to his fans. :3
By the way, you're watching Heirs, right? So how is it? Slow as always? lol Everytime I see stil cuts they're making sad faces (especially Park Shin Hye) and all the stills seem to be very alike.

I've watched only 2 eps so far and... eww... Not Minho's acting but all the insides of human bodies... yeah. As for Minho, well, from my point of view it's kind of obvious that he's been casted for his pretty face. I mean, he's all puppy eyes and dazzling smiles. (that kind of rhymes! lol) And he gets long shots of him making sandwitches! Sometimes it feels a bit ridiculous to watch those things, since they're obviously unnecessary, just for eye candy and to satisfy the fans who are watching the drama just for Minho. And yes, he's not that good of an actor but he's doing kind of alright. But I think the role is not very hard, at least for now.

The hats were kind of ridiculous. I couldn't help laughing when they sang Close It with those hats on and with serious expressions too. xD I listened to all the songs from the new album and they were good overall. I like it that they try singing different/random/strange songs. x)
There are too many new dramas with all the big stars, and even though they may sound interesting I know that Koreans tend to ruin even the good-sounding dramas. So I'll wait till it's over and then I'll read the comments and if I really feel like watching it, I'lldo so. And for Korean dramas, Minho's is quite enough for me now, it's 20 eps ugh... and medical too. Definitely more than enough.

Well, everyone has their own ways. xD
As long as you like the way you watch your dramas there's no need to change anything. x)
I probably did well but, as always, I'm lacking the 2% in everything so I never get the best grades lol Well, getting the second best grade is ok for me, because I know that I don't REALLY deserve the best grade. xD
Anyway, SHINee is coming back again! Yay! I'm happy but then again, it's like their 7th release this year, gosh... But since we can't help it, let's just enjoy the comeback! xD Their teaser pictures were very... cool.

I often put lots of new dramas on my PTW list too and if I'm not too excited to see them I first try to finish something I'm currently watching and by the time I get to the "new" dramas, they're not so new anymore and as I read the comments and see that they might not be as good as they first seemed and then I could decide not to watch it after all, which makes my PTW list a bit shorter again. I think developing some kind of scheme for yourself could hep a bit with everything. It's impossible to watch EVERYTHING so it's best to choose what really seems the most interesting.
And feeling like there's nothing to watch in your CW list it the same for me... So I don't look at it very often, not that it helps. xD
Oh, I know how horrible it is when there's lots of writing to do. Uuugh. Especially since I'm not very good at it.
Well, the exam was hard, woohoo! Lots of words I never heard, yay.

It's ok, I understand, I'm busy with school too.
I see what you're saying, I myself am not as hyper about dramas as I was before either. Though I don't get bored of them because new ones keep coming and there's always something interesting. But I am often forcing myself to finish dramas. So the best thing for me right now is to watch ongoing dramas and keeping up with them little by little.
Anyway, how are things going outside dramaland? Are you having exams?
I have an English matriculation exam this wednesday. I'm a bit worried, but I'm sure I'll be fine. lol I already had the listening exam and it was freaking hard but I got very lucky and guessed right a lot! xD I don't really know how the system with the big exams are there? We have them in autumn and spring.

Yes, everytime I saw the banner of Sprout there I couldn't help wondering why the heck they put it there...
Well, umh... Your currently whatching list is really not any better than the ptw one. So for now, I think I'm not going to recommend you anything. Until you shorten it a bit. xD When I have those kind of too-long-cw-list problems, I try to tell myself: "Ok, no more than 10 dramas in that list! If I want to start watching my next drama, I'll have to finish one of these first!" And I force myself to watch something until the end. I think you have to stop yourself from starting new dramas.
And what's the reason that it's killing you that you haven't finished ItaKiss yet? Because you want to finish it but don't want to watch it? (Happens often to me) Or do you want to watch it but something is stopping you?
I can't delete anything from ptw either, but that's ok. The cw is the problem.

As for Taiwanese dramas, I'm definitely not watching them. xD I don't mean that they're bad or anything, there are probably lots of good stuff but if I was going to start watching T-dramas too I would probably die. Or go blind. Or at least go crazy. There is seriously so so so many things to watch, I'm not even trying to catch up with the Korean ones because the Japanese ones are more than enough, since they keep comming all the time. Damn, why did I fall for these freaking dramas? I don't have time for anything else. Should have choosen a sport instead, at least it would have been healthier. x)
And your list is not "almost hilariously huge" but "way too (hilariously) huge". xD

Maybe you're starting from the wrong dramas lol. ItaKiss and Sprout are really not the best dramas out there. Especially Sprout, it's really not something the current me wanted to watch but I still managed to finish it. It's different for everyone though, and so I can't even start recommending anything. I could go on forever, really but I have to know first what kind of dramas you prefer at the moment. The best Japanese dramas are usually the meaningful ones (like family things), but I don't know if you're at that stage yet. Maybe you're more for the rom coms and innocent, cute and a bit cheesy stuff? Japs have looots of detective/mystery dramas too, some are good.

So yeah, in a way, your name means a lot to me now. xD And it's pretty too, so it's like double the good feelings.
Ok, did any of that make sense? I'm not strange, really.
By the way I just checked out your list and OMGGG, you haven't seen ANY Japanese dramas?? Seriously? I thought I saw wrong or something. I even double checked. But well, at least your plan to watch list has J-dramas too. Though your PTW-list is literally GREAT, so I'm not sure if you'll ever get to them. xD

Haha That's what I was actually afraid of when I came up with the nickname, that people will think that I'm really loveless or something. xD So I thought for a long time if I should use it but in the end I still liked it in a way so I thought "Ah, whatever, if someone asks me I'll just exlain xD".
Oooh, That's quite a unique name, I think. At least I haven't heart it before. But it's very pretty! Really! (I have a friend whose name is Lejla, it's a bit similar!) What language does it come from? Oh gosh, from the time I finished watching Soratobu Kouhoushitsu I like totally fell in love with sky. Ok, I just read that last sentece and yeah, it does sound a bit... Anyway, I don't know but somehow sky now means a lot to me. (Ok, it still sounds strange) And I don't mean religeously or anything. So every time I hear "sky", I just get all kind of feeling.

Oh, I see. x) And I guess because my nickname starts with A it's pretty much in the beginning so it was easier to spot. xD
I actually came up with the nickname (well, I half stole it lol) long before MDL and been using it everywhere, since I'm always having trouble coming up with nicknames. Really, it's so difficult. xD
I don't know if you know Yamashita Tomohisa, but anyway he released a song named Loveless and I think I had to come up with a nickname for something so I played with the word. I simply translated the "love" to Japanese "ai" and kept the "less". Simple but I thought it sounded interesting. Not that I'm not loved or don't love or anything. xD
What does your nickname mean? :D

Yes, another thing I can't see why people do it is bullying. Again, I feel like saying "get a life". I don't understand how bullying could even be fun. If you don't like someone, ignore them, it's not so difficult.
That language remains somewhere in your head is really true. It's been about 6~7 years since I last studied or spoke Spanish and I couldn't remamber pretty much anything but then I started studying it again and words just keep popping out and I even understand what I'm reading, ha! Although I still haven't regained all my Spanish skills, though. x)

Oh, really? Hmm.. Well, somehow I can't say I don't understand you wanting to get out of there. Lots of people seem to have a bit of that feeling about their own country. And well duh, of course going to Korea would like solve all the problems. lol x)
Thanks! Watching dramas really helped, what could be a better way to study a language than enjoying a drama and at the same time learning the spoken language as well as English thanks to subtitles!
